Health impacts of climate change are now inevitable. The objective of this study was to see if animal health climate change adaptation was a subject of scholarly inquiry, advice, or discussion and if there was an evidence base from which to make adaptation recommendations. A scoping review of English-language literature over the past 10 years was undertaken and the top findings related to animal health adaptation and climate change were inventoried on Google. Documents found in the search focussed predominantly on hypothesizing what hazards might occur with climate change, describing their spread or proposing possible impacts. Scant evidence was found of scholarship related to sustainable animal health climate change adaptation planning or action. Investment and attention to adaptation planning and research are needed to increase confidence in climate change recommendations in the face of continuing uncertainty about the breadth of effects on animal health and the best actions to take in preparing and responding to them.
气候变化对健康的影响已经不可避免。本研究旨在探讨动物健康适应气候变化是否是学术研究、咨询或讨论的主题，以及是否有制定适应建议的证据基础。对过去 10 年的英文文献进行了范围综述，并在谷歌上对与动物健康适应和气候变化相关的主要发现进行了盘点。搜索中发现的文件主要集中在假设气候变化可能会出现哪些危害，描述其传播或提出可能的影响。几乎没有发现与可持续动物健康适应气候变化规划或行动相关的学术研究。需要对适应规划和研究进行投资和关注，以提高人们对气候变化建议的信心，因为人们对气候变化对动物健康的影响范围以及应对这些影响的最佳行动仍存在持续的不确定性。
